Pokémon Go Players

And there's the first one!

 

 

 

 

 

A teenager has been killed in what could be the first death of someone playing Pokemon Go.

Jerson Lopez de Leon, who was 18, was ambushed and died after being shot while he was playing the game with cousin Daniel Moises Picen, 17.

It still isn’t clear why the two were attacked, police said. But they have speculated that it may have been that the attackers found the teenagers using the app itself – which has location features that make it possible to encourage people to go to specific areas, or to locate players.

A full bus of Dutch passengers dodged a bullet, their coach driver was playing Pokémon. Needless to say that when his employer saw the footage he was fired on the spot.

Anyone awake??! Hello, three days ago!Second Pokémon related death.

More or less a carbon copy of the fist one.Here's a summary of what already happened playing Pokémon.

I dunno, neither death to me is Pokemon related, any more than blue jeans related (let's assume both deceased folks were wearing jeans). What I need to see is some bloke walk into traffic or off a cliff is summat whilst playing.

Now, if the victims in these two incidents said something to their assailant like 'dude get outta my way I'm trying to catch a Pokemon' and got shot, I think then we are getting somewhere.

Don't Pokemon Go and drive! More than 110,000 road accidents in the US were caused by the game in just 10 days.

 

The researchers looked at a random sample of 4,000 messages on Twitter and news reports over a 10 day period, which all contained the word Pokemon.

From this, they estimated that a total of 113,993 incidents had been reported where drivers and pedestrians had been distracted by the game.

Because we needed research to tell us walking along or driving without looking where we are going is not a good idea.

The current fad of today is playing Pokémon Go, searching for imaginary animal through augmented reality. But reality and augmented reality rarely mix well. Here's one of the first stories, albeit non-fatal, but nevertheless funny and an Omen of what will happen.Pokémon Go player succesfully catches tree while driving.

Let the mahem begin!

"Pikachu was unavailable for comment"..... ( :P )

Police are searching for a man who allegedly shot at a woman while she was playing Pokemon Go in northwest Atlanta last month.

Investigators released new video of the shooting Thursday. In the video, a man with a handgun was shown climbing out of what appears to be a white work van and approaching the victim’s car just out of the frame. After the shooting, the man jumped back into the van and it drove off.
